Zebbies and canary?

Post by Ameza » Sun Feb 20, 2011 8:48 am

Hi guys.

I was wondering if you knew if zebbies and canaries would work together in a cage, or if it is a big no no.

(btw do canaries count as finches?)

I do not personally know if Zebbies and Canaries would work together, BUT I do have what I call my "pretty bird cage" and in it I have two red factor canaries, two Gouldians, and a Cordon Blue Finch. I have heard many many times they can be kept together (regarding Finches and Canaries) and that they will get along fine. Hehe no Canaries are not Finches but I believe they are related! What kind of Canary are you looking at? Good luck!! :D

Zebra finches may well be too aggressive/pushy/roudy for Canaries.
